From here, we follow one trail that winds through a spectacular stretch of pine forest before entering the unique birch forest and the famous Sartorius Craters included in the Unesco World Heritage. Our Mountain bike trip on the second stage reaches a famous volcanic cave; a guide will explain the geology and the exciting story of this cave. On the third stage, we will ride through some single trails through the lava desert. Some short stretches are technical but do not worry; you can get off the Mtb and push it for a few hundred meters. The fourth part of our spectacular excursion will take us downhill to discover Mount etna's massive eruption of 2002. The view from here on the Mediterranean sea, the Alcantara valley, and the summit crater is one of the best you will see during your holiday in Italy.
